METIER3

Graduates

2026 Graduate recruitment

METIER3 is currently recruiting recently graduated architects (M.Arch required) who will be appointed to the permanent staff within 6 months of commencing their employment if they can demonstrate that their technical skills and interpersonal capabilities align with METIER3's objectives.

Graduates are invited to apply by email to m3employment2025 AT metier3 DOT com DOT au

We are seeking to fill up to 4 roles. Applications are open from 1 October 2025 until 15 November 2025 unless closed earlier at our discretion.

Our graduate program includes dedicated time within different work areas of our practice, and requires each graduate to contribute to the studio more broadly in addition to their project work. This may include contributing to marketing, organising professional development seminars, and involvement in social/out of office events or similar.

The program commences with an intensive session using Revit, including an initial online assessment of capability on commencement. Candidates are strongly encouraged to develop their Revit skills post graduation.

Although we are flexible about working arrangements post Covid, it is our expectation that you attend the East Melbourne studio on a full time basis during your probationary period. Frankly, we feel that graduates learn best while immersed in a design culture. We hope you share this view.

 

Your application should include the following components:

  1. Your CV including confirmation of your entitlement to be employed in Australia. We will not offer employment/visa sponsorship to any candidate.
  2. Confirmation that you graduated from (or will graduate from) a recognised Australian Architectural faculty in 2024 or 2025 with a M.Arch qualification.
  3. A cover letter detailing why you aspire to work at METIER3. You are encouraged to be creative in your application – show us “who you really are”.
  4. A short essay (no more than 500 words) on one of the following three topics:
    1. Who are your architectural “heroes” and why they are inspirational to you, or
    2. Summarising your final year major project, or
    3. Your critique of a METIER3 building currently listed on our website.
  5. As an alternative to (4) above, send a link to a short video (no more than 90 seconds) where you can showcase / talk to any of the 3 areas above.
  6. Your preferred employment commencement date being either December 2025 or mid January 2026.

We will ONLY review candidates whose applications match the above criteria.

We will ONLY acknowledge your application if you meet the application criteria, and we believe you are suitable for interview on our short-list. 

Candidates who progress after initial screening of their application will be asked to attend an interview at our office or via Teams/Zoom.

 

Candidates who impress us at interview and are complementary to the other graduate candidates, can expect to be offered a role with immediate start (we will be flexible about start dates but we do require you to be able to start sometime in January 2026 at the latest).

We look forward to hearing from you.
